Another point, unlike a lot of people, I can imagine a world without Social Security or Medicare.
Yes - I too can imagine a world without social security and medicare. But every time a conservative politician tries to privatize SSC or medicare - they are blasted by the news media, unions, and liberals everywhere. Now look where we are. I am almost 68 years old and I really hurt for the young people. God bless them - I pray for their deliverance from this mess.
